Everton FC v Sunderland AFC team news: Jordan Pickford and Fabio Borini return to starting XI
Vito Mannone drops out of the squad, Mika the back-up keeper. Fabio Borini replaces Jason Denayer in the only other change from the 4-0 defeat to Southampton a fortnight ago.
Denayer travelled with the squad but misses out through illness.
That could spark a late change to a back four.
